Pakistan under fire for systematic persecution of Ahmadis, Hindus, and Christians

Chenab Nagar [Pakistan] October 4 (ANI): Pakistan continues to face global condemnation for its deep-rooted religious intolerance, as highlighted in a recent country update, citing the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF).

The report denounces Pakistan‘s systematic persecution of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community and the alarming increase in forced conversions and blasphemy-related violence across the country, as reported by Rabwah Times.

According to Rabwah Times, Pakistan‘s Penal Code openly discriminates against Ahmadis, barring them from identifying as Muslims or practising their faith publicly.

The USCIRF report documented a disturbing surge in violence against Ahmadis in 2025, including the demolition of three Ahmadi mosques in Punjab within a span of ten days in February.
